Now, after more than a few years away from his early home in the Nebraska Sandhills, Sam has put together his first book-length collection of poems, and it pleases me that so many of them, in a variety of ways and degrees, reveal connections to the writer’s upbringing.

—William Kloefkorn, Nebraska State Poet

Where to Start is number six in the Holland Series, published by Logan House.

Samuel Stenger Renken received his BA at Nebraska Wesleyan with the late great Bill Kloefkorn, an MA at Clemson with Keith Lee Morris, and an MFA in Wyoming with H.L. Hix. His first book of poetry, Where to Start, was published by Logan House in 2011, and First Pony Out was published by WSC Press in 2020.
